Sauté green chilies and onion in butter for 3 minutes on medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add half and half, stirring continually. When mixture is heated through, turn temperature down to low and add 1 c. cheddar. When melted, add chicken and tomato purée and stir.
In frying pan, add 2 T. oil and cook each tortilla on both side for about 30 seconds each.
In a 9 X 13 inch baking dish, place one tortilla in the center, then add 1/2 – 1 cup of the mixture inside. Fold flour tortilla and place seam-side down. Do each one this way. Pour any extra sauce on top and then sprinkle rest of cheese on top.
